I've been doing alot of work with file serving, i even have gone through the trouble of making an ASP based windows explorer style interface...
my dilema is that in order to search for file(s) recursively, i've been using FSO and file stepping through folder after folder and this is an enormous toll on the webserver, especially when 5-10 people start simultaneously searching, let alone quitting a search and retrying.
i've made a vbs script that uses FSO and recursively ( with filters ) populates a MSA DB with path, filename, file extention, filesize, datecreated and date last modified... thus to manage the files a lot better, although, with the exception of scheduling this script to fire off every hour, and not only populate but compare ( should a file be renamed or moved ) is there a relatively uncomplicated method to overlay some kind of runtime/SSO whatever to maintain file activity? or suggestions of what to look for when searching for source code for making such a component?
i would just completely populate the DB, then make management tools for moving handling the files, but, there's local and remote usage of the file archives, tracking files via web is not too complicated, in the same request to move/copy/del file i can update the DB, it's the local connections that concern me.
thanks in advance ..
